I believe it was nystatin... Does that sound right? Or maybe it was diflucan, it was awhile ago and my memory is a bit foggy. And I fed him yougurt and scrambled eggs and peas and corn along with his regular pellets.

And cider vinegar in his water.

No he is not a banty. He is plugged up again today. My husband is out adding apple cider vinegar to the water now and is feeding him some yogurt. Hopefully if we can get his poop more solid this will put an end to it, otherwise if we do not see results in the next 24-48 hours we will be starting the antibiotics. Hate to lose this guy, he a nice friendly rooster!
